    See it as tweaking the wheel...

Now a perl script (with caching) to monitor VCP ports on QFX5100's is re-inventing the wheel, just because their engineers opted out of the usual way to handle network interfaces.

They could have simply named them VCP-<Member ID>/0/x instead of naming them all VCP-255/0/x

Hello All,

Thanks for your replies.

Especially the lmgtfy and RTFM.. most helpful. :-)

I had hoped not to have to re-invent the wheel.

Get the MIBS of the devices you want to monitor, then build SNMP sense
programs to pull the information you need.  The NAGIOS manuals should
describe how to do this.

Hello All,

Does anyone have a ready to use nagios/icinga plugin for hardware health
and temperature monitoring of arista devices that they are willing to
share? (7050, 7280 and 7500)

With google searches I can't find any available.

Arista TAC replied: "nagios does snmp, so that should fit you needs"

There is https://github.com/ncsa/nagios-plugins which should be able to
be
augmented to do the extra checks.
And with pyeapi it shouldn't be rocket science either. (for a developer,
which I am not)

If I were to request our devops department to build it it would probably
put in back of a very long queue.

So if there is anyone out there that is willing to share it would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Bas
